OK, but still: how do I build it?

./autoget.sh says that it doesn't look like a package.

I renamed configure.in.in to configure.in and tried autogen again,
seemed to go fine.

I then tried make, and everything seemed to go fine, until I got:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/hasenj/code/xfce/exo/po'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `@LINGUAS at .gmo', needed by `all-yes'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/hasenj/code/xfce/exo/po'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hasenj/code/xfce/exo'
make: *** [all] Error 2
